Fernando Chair Closed Sides in Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel by Julian Mayor

Born in 1976 in the United Kingdom, Julian Mayor is a British artist and designer based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. His sculptural practice sits at the intersection of industrial precision and expressive form, merging digital design with the tactility of handcrafted metalwork. Working primarily with welded sheet metal, Mayor transforms computer-generated models into striking three-dimensional forms through cutting, folding, and welding—creating works that balance geometry with organic imperfection.
